Substance abuse treatment from Insight Treatment Centers is the first step for our patients that are interested in beating their substance use disorder or addiction and remaining sober long-term. The treatment plans we offer look different for every patient, although reviewing the basics below may be helpful in determining if our services are appropriate for you or a loved one.
What Is Substance Abuse Treatment?
Substance abuse treatment focuses on the psychological component of drug addiction and recovery as well as the medical and safety component of treating substance abuse. This may include managing the detoxification process for patients to monitor and treat symptoms, evaluating the mental health of the patient to look for contributing factors that may have played a role in the substance abuse and behavioral counseling. Substance abuse treatment is a long-term condition, and it often requires long-term monitoring and therapy to prevent a relapse long-term.
Detoxification Management
In conjunction with other medical doctors and mental health professionals that are involved in the detoxification of the patient, we also offer detoxification services. This is particularly for patients that are in the midst of their addiction and may experience withdrawal symptoms as they lose their dependency on drugs. This is often the first step in the substance abuse treatment process.
Mental Health Evaluation
Our mental health professionals may also perform a mental health evaluation. This allows us to determine if there are any underlying conditions that may contribute to the use of drugs or alcohol or that may play a role in the recovery process. We evaluate the patient for all types of mental health symptoms, conditions, and disorders, including depression, anxiety, and mood disorders (i.e. bipolar disorder).
Behavioral Counseling
Behavioral counseling and related services are often a huge part of the recovery process. This may include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), support groups with other patients that are going through treatment, and family therapy. Each treatment is personalized, so the services vary based on the patient’s specific needs and treatment goals.
Long-Term Relapse Prevention
Overcoming addiction is a huge step in the recovery process. However, relapse prevention is equally important for our patients in treatment. We work with our patients and their families long-term through outpatient treatment and continuous care to help them remain sober and mentally healthy.
The Importance Of Substance Abuse Treatment For Recovery
Substance abuse treatment for patients that are dealing with addiction and mental health complications is particularly important as their mind and body are still developing. At Insight Treatment Centers, we not only treat the substance abuse and mental health concerns, but we also consider the long-term success and well-being of our patients, teaching them life skills and coping mechanisms that help them live a happy, healthy and sober life far beyond their teenage years.
